I am glad Zcash was launched. It was supposed to be difficult, honestly DevTeam made great job and ZEC is alive without major issues.

Waiting for upgraded software, wallets, miners, another compilations which woud be able to make life easier.

If new stuff available, please let us know and share info here. Thank you.

@ocminer thnx for the pool...initially it was a bit bumpy ..no greatly stable...east BTC

They made no ann at btctalk because they are scared to confront hard questions. They prefer discussing in their walled gardens where they'll ban anyone who's asking too much questions.

Which coin that didn't ann at btctalk did not turn out a scam? I think it's a red flag already.

Is it open source?When will it be open source and why is closed source valued so high?

Geeze guys, get ARK, they offer +120% bonus instead of a -3000% bonus.

Yup, ark is my love, will catch some. Defnitely zcash blatant scam made lots of polo fishes lost the money, their zcash is worthles now compared to 3300 btc price.

Is this even worth trying to mine with a Vultr VPS? Or is CPU mining not worth it? If so, is there a step by step guide for idiots like me on how to set this up with command line on Ubuntu? (VPS doesn't display the GUI.) I'd prefer something written that I can copy and paste rather than a video. Also, I want the program that lets me mine to the suprnova pool. I tried downloading the nicehash widows program, but my antivirus blocks some of the files. I don't think my AMD 7570 and i5-3450 is really up to the task anyway. I have a Dell desktop, and I think mining would cause it to fry, anyway, since the cooling sucks.

CPU mining is perfectly fine. I am getting higher hashrate from my CPU than my GPU.

Havent tried to set it up on linux yet so cant help with that.

Well, I figured out how to run this on a vultr VPS, but it is totally not worth it. I was only getting 5 sol/s on their 6 CPU package. I tried their 1 cpu packages, and they don't have enough memory to compile the mining program. 1 get 9 sol/s just running 2 of my 4 cores on my Dell. I'll try that for a while. I tried to run my AMD 7570, but it doesn't get even 1 sol/s and causes my computer to lag. I'm selling my 9 sol/s to nicehash at the moment because people are paying crazy prices still. I wonder when they will figure out, like I did, that paying .6 BTC per ksol/sec/day is a losing proposition unless the price on the exchange has an unexpected rally back to 10+ BTC per coin. I'll take making over a buck a day off running only 2 cpu cores.  

Geeze guys, get ARK, they offer +120% bonus instead of a -3000% bonus.

From what I can tell, most of the people in this thread are miners. We can't help it if people were willing to pay outrageous prices to keep us happy during the slow start. Looking forward to ARK though, too.

ZEC below 1 BTC within the next few hours...was so nice that withdraw was done manually for this coin and not automatically at all other coins when you mine at suprnova... but of course when you own the full supply...


1. Miners are mining ZEC
2. Report having problems with withdraw will do it manually.
3. Ocminer was working all night.

Real story:

1. Miners are mining ZEC.
2. Ocminer took all the coins and transfer to Poloniex and all other exchanges
3. Dumped miners coins as 3299 - 1000 - 500 - 25 - 10 BTC per coin
4. Buyback coins at around 10 BTC per coin
5. Send coins back to his site to payout the miners reward from step one
6. Counting his profit he made on dumping all the coins that miners created in point 1.


So basically it was the biggest scam ever!!! NEVER, I repeat NEVER there was a problem with withdraws on Suprnova!!!! Always automatically, NEVER ONE SINGLE PROBLEM!!! NEVER!!!! and now there is this problem.... I would say do your own investigation but I think the real story is true.

PS: Who created this thread.... No other mining pools on OPs.... Biggest coin but only one mining pool?

Edit: Maybe someone needs to investigate this based on the block explorer... was there a big withdraw from SuprNova?  But the problem is that he won't be that stupid to do it in big withdraws as he knows how to scam.

No, there are lots of pools. Nicehash and Genesis are in on it. Just use google, you'll find more. Also, using a block explorer will do little good.  This is an anon coin after all.

Here's the data from a withdrawal that I made from supernova. Notice there is no address listed on the input side...

If what you insinuate is true, I would doubt ocminer would use a public input to send.

Is it possible to mine with miner from topicstarter on amd gpu? I successfully compiled and mine with CPU, but i hope gpu mining could be more profitable.

I think so too, very shady thing they did, maybe he earned thousands of bitcoin in this time, greedy pool owners.

I don't really want to make false accusations but there was something strange. First ocminer told that "...because of the nature of this coin.... manual payouts.." do you remember guys? Second: the automatic payouts worked very well on other pools ( at that time) Third: "Payouts are now working well" maybe "climate" change ))  
From my experience ( I've lost around 8,3 btc due of payouts delay ) I had to wait around 5-7 hours for my (confirmed) payouts... Anyway, I'll investigate more...

[bones261]

Good luck all in confirming your suspicions. Zcash is an anon coin. It is dirty cash. You thought the Silk Road was bad? Get out the popcorn. I'm sure the FBI and INTERPOL will figure it out eventually.

And there are well known names of developers for "private conversation about possible bugs"

[Amph]

funny thing now, with current price, it's like we are mining bitcoin directly
